In terms of why sandbags are used, when placed correctly they can really help to reduce the impact of flooding on your residence.
Be advised that it will not stop the water completely but it definitely does reduce the volume that enters your property by diverting its path.
For those wishing to visit any of these pick-up points it is advised your bring a shovel, with the SES also calling for any local volunteers to come and help fill sandbags.
Any new pick-up points that become available will be added to this story.
